With continued reference to FIG. 1, computing device 104 is configuredto generate a machine-learning process, wherein the machine-learningprocess is trained using a first training set relating symptomaticinputs to symptomatic neutralizers. A “machine-learning process,” asused in this disclosure, is a process that automatedly uses a body ofdata known as “training data” and/or a “training set” to generate analgorithm that will be performed by computing device 104 and/or a moduleto produce outputs given data provided as inputs; this is in contrast toa non-machine learning software program where the commands to beexecuted are determined in advance by a user and written in aprogramming language. “Training data,” as used in this disclosure, is aset of examples that contain pairs of an input and a correspondingoutput, which are used to model relationships between two or morecategories of data elements. Training data may be formatted to includelabels, for instance by associating data elements with one or moredescriptors corresponding to categories of data elements. Training datamay not contain labels, where training data may not be formatted toinclude labels. A machine-learning process 120 may include calculatingone or more machine-learning algorithms and/or producing one or moremachine-learning models. A machine-learning process 120 may include asupervised machine-learning process 120 that applies learnedassociations from the past to new data using labeled training data topredict future events. A supervised machine-learning process 120produces an inferred function to make predictions about output values. Asupervised machine-learning process 120 may include for example, activelearning, classification, regression, and/or similarity learning. Amachine-learning process 120 may include an unsupervisedmachine-learning process 120 where training data utilized to train theunsupervised machine-learning process 120 may not be classified orlabeled. An unsupervised machine-learning process 120 may infer afunction to describe a hidden structure from unlabeled data. Anunsupervised machine-learning process 120 may include for example,clustering, anomaly detection, neural networks, latent variable models,and the like. A machine-learning process 120 may include asemi-supervised machine-learning process 120 that may utilize acombination of both labeled and unlabeled training data. Asemi-supervised machine-learning process 120 may include generativemodels, low density separation, graph-based methods, heuristicapproaches, and the like. A machine-learning process 120 may beimplemented as any machine-learning process, including for instance, andwithout limitation, as described in U.S. Nonprovisional application Ser.No. 16/375,303, filed on Apr. 4, 2019, and entitled “SYSTEMS AND METHODSFOR GENERATING ALIMENTARY INSTRUCTION SETS BASED ON VIBRANTCONSTITUTIONAL GUIDANCE,” the entirety of which is incorporated hereinby reference.

With continued reference to FIG. 1, training data utilized to train amachine-learning process 120 may be obtained from records of previousiterations of a machine-learning process 120, user inputs and/orquestionnaire responses, expert inputs, open source platforms and thelike. Computing device 104 trains a machine-learning process 120including any machine-learning algorithm and/or any machine-learningmodel utilizing a first training set relating symptomatic inputs to foodpreferences.

With continued reference to FIG. 1, computing device 104 is configuredto identify a symptomatic neutralizer based on a symptomatic input usinga machine-learning process. A “food element,” as used in thisdisclosure, is any food, beverage, drink, snack, nutritional supplement,and the like intended for consumption by a human being. A “symptomaticneutralizer,” as used in this disclosure, is any indication as to howmuch or how little a food element 124 helps alleviate or exacerbate asymptomatic input 108. For instance and without limitation, a foodelement 124 such as organ meats may exacerbate a condition of gout,while a food such as sauerkraut may alleviate symptoms associated with acondition such as irritable bowel syndrome. A symptomatic neutralizermay be expressed as a quantitative datum, containing a numerical scorethat indicates how much or how little a food element alleviates orexacerbates a symptomatic input 108. A symptomatic neutralizer may beexpressed on a numerical score from 0 to 100 for example, where a scoreof 0 may indicate a food element that exacerbates a symptomatic input,while a score of 100 may indicate a food element that alleviates asymptomatic input. For instance and without limitation, a symptomaticneutralizer for a food element such as tomatoes may contain aquantitative datum containing a numerical score of 17 for exacerbatingsymptoms of a stomach ulcer, while a symptomatic neutralizer for a foodelement such as honey may contain a quantitative datum containing anumerical score of 77 for alleviating symptoms of a stomach ulcer.Computing device 104 generates a symptomatic neutralizer utilizing oneor more regression processes, including any of the regression processesas described herein.

With continued reference to FIG. 1, computing device 104 is configuredto generate an ordered food preference 132. An “ordered foodpreference,” as used in this disclosure, is a list of food element 124ranked based on how well each food element 124 diminishes a symptomaticinput 108. A food element 124 may help diminish a symptomatic input 108when the food element 124 helps alleviate, lessen, treat, and/ormitigate a symptomatic input 108. Food element 124 may be ranked indescending order, whereby food element 124 that help diminish asymptomatic input 108 the most are ranked first, and those that worsen asymptomatic input 108 are ranked last. For instance and withoutlimitation, a symptomatic input 108 that contains a diagnosis of aurinary tract infection may be utilized to generate an ordered foodpreference 132 that specifies a food element 124 such as raw cranberriesas having a high ranking and being able to diminish symptoms of aurinary tract infection, while a food element 124 such as cranberryjuice cocktail beverage may have a very low ranking as it contains highlevels of high fructose corn syrup that will exacerbate and worsensymptoms of a urinary tract infection. In yet another non-limitingexample, a symptomatic input containing a user with an increased risk ofdeveloping breast cancer, may contain an ordered food preference 132that specifies a food element 124 such as all cruciferous vegetablesincluding broccoli, Brussel sprouts, cauliflower, cabbage, bok choy,radish, arugula, and kohlrabi as having a high ranking and reducing auser's risk of developing breast cancer, while a food element 124 suchas red meat may exacerbate a user's risk of developing breast cancer.

With continued reference to FIG. 1, computing device 104 generates anordered food preference 132 utilizing a food preference indicator 136. A“food preference indicator,” as used in this disclosure, is anyevaluative attitude that a user expresses towards any food element 124.A food preference may include a qualitative evaluation of foods andbeverages, indicating how much a user likes or dislikes them. A foodpreference may be determined based on a hedonic scale, indicating howmuch a user likes a food or how much a user dislikes a food. A foodpreference may be determined on a preferred frequency scale, such as howoften does a user eat or consume a particular food or beverage. A foodpreference may be based on a numerical scale, indicating on a scale from0 to 10 how much a user likes or dislikes a food, where a score of 0indicates a food that a user does not like and 10 indicates a food thata user does like. One or more food preference indicator 136 may bestored in symptomatic database 112, as described above in more detail.For instance and without limitation, a food preference indicator 136 mayspecify that a user prefers to consume vegetables that include carrots,celery, and romaine lettuce, but the user does not like to consumeBrussel sprouts or cabbage. In yet another non-limiting example, a foodpreference indicator 136 may specify that a user dislikes all animalproducts and enjoys consuming gluten free vegan foods. Computing device104 utilizes a food preference to generate an ordered food element list.For instance and without limitation, computing device 104 may rank afood element 124 contained within an ordered food element list higherwhen the food element 124 is a food element 124 the user likes toconsume, and the food element 124 is a symptomatic neutralizer. In yetanother non-limiting example, computing device 104 may rank a foodelement 124 lower when a food element 124 is a food element 124 that theuser does not like to consume and the food element 124 is a symptomaticneutralizer 128, because the user is most likely not going to consumethe food element 124.

With continued reference to FIG. 1, computing device 10 is configured toidentify an element of data containing a genetically related foodpreference 140 for a user. A “genetically related food preference,” asused in this disclosure, is any genetic indication and/or predispositionthat affects a user's food preferences and/or food element 124 tastes. Agenetic indication may include the absence and/or presence of any genesthat may control a user's food preferences. For instance and withoutlimitation, a user's taste preferences for foods that are sweet tastingmay be implicated by genes that are involved in glucose metabolismincluding but not limited to, TAS1R1, TAS1R2, TAS1R3, SLC2A2, ADIPOQ,ANKK1, DRD2, OPRM1, LEP, LEPR, NPY1 and the like. In yet anothernon-limiting example, a user's taste preferences for foods that containfats may be controlled by polymorphisms in the CD36 gene that encodefatty acid translocase, as well as genes that affect regulation oflipolysis and thermogenesis, lipoprotein metabolism, neurotransmission,and signaling regulation such as but not limited to, ADRB3, APOA2,OPRM1, RGS6 and the like. One or more genetically related foodpreferences pertaining to a user may be stored in symptomatic database112. Computing device 104 utilizes a genetically related food preference140 to generate an ordered food preference 132. For example, a foodelement 124 such as coffee may be ranked higher for a user with agenetically related food preference 140 for bitter foods as affected bythe TAS2R38 gene, as compared to a user who does not have a geneticallyrelated food preference 140 for bitter foods. In yet anothernon-limiting example, a food element 124 containing a savory foodelement 124 such as green cabbage may be ranked higher for a user with agenetically related food preference 140 for umami foods as affected by aGNAT3 gene co-expressed with TAS1R1 gene, as compared to a user who doesnot have co-expression of the GNAT3 gene and the TAS1R1 gene.

With continued reference to FIG. 1, computing device 104 generates anordered food preference 132 utilizing a social conduct factor 144. A“social conduct factor,” as used in this disclosure, is any socialimpact on a user's food preferences. A social impact may include anyfoods and/or cuisines that a user was exposed to as a child, and thatshaped a user's food preferences. For instance and without limitation, auser who was brought up in a household eating only vegetarian meals maynot eat meat or feel comfortable eating food element 124 that containmeat. A social impact may include any food behaviors and/or foodpreferences that a user developed based on food element 124 that afamily member or friend likes. For example, a husband may learn overtime to enjoy food element 124 that his wife enjoys such as fresh saladsor meal that contain chicken as compared to beef In yet anothernon-limiting example, a user who lives with multiple friends togethermay learn over time to enjoy food element 124 that the user's friendsalso like. A social influence may include any influences regarding typesof food element 124 that a user consumes. For example, a user whoroutinely eats out at restaurants and who doesn't cook meals at home maybe more adventurous regarding food items and may consume a wider varietyof food element 124 as compared to someone who exclusively cooks mealsat home. A social influence may include any social eating patterns oreating habits that a user has developed. For example, a user who worksvery long hours may skip breakfast and only eat two meals each day.Computing device 104 utilizes a social conduct factor 144 to rank foodelement 124. For example, a social conduct factor 144 that indicates auser doesn't eat breakfast may be utilized to rank food element 124 muchlower that are typically food element 124 consumed for breakfast such asoatmeal, eggs benedict, pancakes, donuts, and bacon. One or more socialimpacts may be stored within symptomatic database 112.

With continued reference to FIG. 1, computing device 104 is configuredto receive a prior food preference input 148. A “prior food preferenceinput,” as used in this disclosure, is a description of any previousfood element 124 that a user has consumed. A prior food preference input148 may contain a description of a food element 124 that a userconsumed, such as a snack containing almonds that a user ate. A priorfood preference input 148 may contain a description of a meal that auser consumed, such as a meal containing grilled flank steak served on abed of arugula and with a side of avocado. A prior food preference input148 may contain a description of a user's previous eating patterns, suchas a description of certain cuisines that a user enjoys eating,including Italian inspired meals or Japanese meals. A prior foodpreference input 148 may be stored within symptomatic database 112.Computing device 104 classifies using a Naïve Bayes classifier, a priorfood preference input 148 to a food profile. A “classifier,” as used inthis disclosure, is a process whereby computing device 104 derives fromtraining data, a model known as a “classifier” for sorting inputs intocategories or bins of data. A classifier utilizes a prior foodpreference input 148 as an input, and outputs a food profile 156.Computing device 104 trains classifier, utilizing training data.Training data may be obtained from records of previous iterations of aclassifier, user inputs and/or questionnaire responses, expert inputs,and the like. A Naïve Bayes classifier 152, utilizes a family ofalgorithms to assign class labels to problem instances, represented asvectors of feature values, where class labels are derived from a finiteset. A Naïve Bayes classifier 152 may generate classes, by calculatingan estimate for a class probability from a training set. A Naïve Bayesclassifier 152 may include generating a Gaussian Naïve Bayes classifier152, that may be generated based on an assumption that continuous valuesassociated with each class are distributed according to a normal orGaussian distribution. A Naïve Bayes classifier 152 may includegenerating a multinomial Naïve Bayes classifier 152, where featurevectors represent the frequencies with which certain events have beengenerated by a multinomial. A Naïve Bayes classifier 152 may includegenerating a Bernoulli Naïve Bayes classifier 152, where features thatare independent Boolean binary variables describe inputs.

With continued reference to FIG. 1, computing device 104 classifies aprior food preference input 148 to a food profile 156. A “food profile,”as used in this disclosure, is a compilation of food elements 124containing an associated datum indicating whether or not each foodelement is recommended for a user. A food profile 156 may contain foodelements 124 that are similar to food elements 124 contained within aprior food preference input 148. For example, a prior food preferenceinput 148 that contains a meal containing salmon may be classified to afood profile 156 that recommends other fish choices similar to salmonincluding Arctic char, Ocean trout, Amber Jack, Mackerel, Wahoo, StripedBass, Milkfish, and Bluefish. A food profile 156 may contain foodelement 124 that may pair well with food element 124 contained within aprior food preference input 148. For example, a prior food preferenceinput 148 that contains a chocolate cake may be utilized to recommend ina food profile 156 other desserts containing chocolate such as chocolatecupcakes, chocolate ice cream, and chocolate pudding. A prior foodpreference input 148 may be evaluated to determine food element 124 thata user will dislike based on ingredients contained within a prior foodpreference input 148. For example, a prior food preference input 148that contains only vegetarian entrees may be utilized to classify theuser to a food profile 156 that contains only vegetarian food element124 recommendations. In yet another non-limiting example, a prior foodpreference input 148 that contains only lactose free dairy products maybe utilized to classify the user to a food profile 156 that containslactose free dairy products. Computing device 104 utilizes a foodprofile 156 to generate an ordered food element list. Food element 124contained within a food profile 156 may be utilized to order foodelement 124. For example, a food profile 156 that contains vegan foodelement 124 may be utilized by computing device 104 to generate anordered food element list that ranks vegan food element 124 higher thananimal containing food element 124. In yet another non-limiting example,a food profile 156 that contains food element 124 of a certain ethnicitymay be utilized by computing device 104 to generate an ordered foodelement list that ranks food element 124 matching the ethnicity higherthan food element 124 of other ethnicities.

With continued reference to FIG. 1, computing device 104 is configuredto create a food preference menu for a user wherein creating the foodpreference menu 160 includes grouping ordered food elements. A “foodpreference menu,” as used in this disclosure, is a list of suggestedmeal items for a user. A food preference menu 160 may contain a list ofspecific meals, such as suggested meals for breakfast, lunch, dinner,and/or snacks. A food preference menu 160 may contain a list of foodelement 124 needed to prepare a particular food preference menu 160item. For instance and without limitation, a food preference menu 160may contain a recommended breakfast that contains millet served withcoconut milk and topped with cinnamon, vanilla, and black currants. Inyet another non-limiting example, a food preference menu 160 may containa recommended dinner that includes teriyaki salmon served with whiterice and topped with broccoli, red cabbage, carrots, green onions,avocado, lime, and sprinkled with sesame seeds. Computing device 104 mayutilize an ordered food element list containing food element listrankings, to rank food preference menu 160. For instance and withoutlimitation, a user with a symptomatic input 108 of gout may receive afood preference menu 160 that foods a first meal item such as halibutwith baby potatoes ranked as having a neutral effect on a user'ssymptoms of gout, and a second meal item such as grilled portobellomushroom topped with caramelized onions and served on a bed of millet ashaving a positive effect on a user's symptoms of gout. Computing device104 groups ordered food element 124 to create meals. In an embodiment,computing device 104 groups food element 124 by pairing a first foodelement 124 with a second food element 124. Pairing may includecombining food element 124 based on taste, food preferences, knowncombinations, recipes, and the like. For example, computing device 104may group a first food element 124 such as oysters with a second foodelement 124 such as kiwi fruit. In yet another non-limiting example, afirst food element 124 such as shrimp may be recommended to be pairedwith a second food element 124 such as avocado, however for a user witha dislike of avocado, another food element 124 such as mango may berecommended instead. Computing device 104 may consult symptomaticdatabase 112 to identify a user's food preferences and/or an orderedfood list to determine food element 124 pairings. In an embodiment, auser may select one or more food preference menu 160 items that are ofinterest to the user and/or that the user would consume, and computingdevice 104 may generate a grocery ingredient list. A “grocery ingredientlist,” as used in this disclosure, is a list of food element 124 neededto prepare a food preference menu 160 item. A grocery ingredient listmay be utilized by a user to shop for food element 124 such as in agrocery store or online when ordering groceries to be picked up ordelivered.

With continued reference to FIG. 1, a food preference menu 160 mayinclude a nourishment strategy. A “nourishment strategy,” as used inthis disclosure, is any nutritional plan recommended for a user. Anutritional plan may include a map of suggested meals assigned tocertain meal slots, times, and/or days of the week. A nutritional planmay be generated over a certain period of time, such as a plan for aday, a week, a month, a year, and the like. In an embodiment, computingdevice 104 may utilize a nourishment strategy to generate a groceryingredient list for a user based on the nourishment strategy.

Referring now to FIG. 2, an exemplary embodiment 200 of symptomaticdatabase 112 is illustrated. Symptomatic database 112 may be implementedas any data structure suitable for use as described above in more detailin reference to FIG. 1.
